Want front radiator for 200SX S13 1.8T

Hi guys, just wanted to interact with Nissan lovers, i've also got a 200SX and she is a beauty. And she used go well until i blew the engine. Since i replaced the engine i've endless problems with overheating.
Changed, Fans 3x, water punp 1x, thermostat 2x, rear passage pipes 2x, and now i'm stuck without a radiator.
Does anyone knows where can i get one(besides Nissan dealers)? 😂

Try Silverton radiators. I had the top part of my radiator replaced by them.

You can buy my old one of me... It needs a seal replacement though.

I need to upgrade to a bigger unit for other reasons...

Hi Toby,

i've tried Silverton radiators, but they couldn't help me they the only solution was to fabricate a new but their price was a bit too high.

And Vlade, the seal on between the top tank and the core can't be bought from Nissan separetely i would have to buy the all radiator just to get the seal. And if you try to unclamp the tank from the radiator those little teeth break quite easy.
Does yours leak between the top tank and the core?
How much would you want for the radiator anyways?

what kinda money are we talking about? coz im thinking about importing one from www.radicool.co.uk for my scenic. They want to charge my three and a half large here, but these people quoted me like 90 pounds, which even with shipping saves a shipload

You never answered my questions about where is the radiator leaking?
Is it still in your car or is it out?
Can you post a pic?
The price will depend on the condition of the radiator dude.

No mine leaks at the bottom tank

the quote i got from Silverton

R1280 Ex vat for radiator 42mm
R700 for end tanks from welding co..

The best radiator you can buy for the S13 is a Koyo... they about
$300 ex import costs
